Praying it's not over :-(

All I have done for most of the day is cry because I'm really worried that I am loosing either one or both of my twins (11+4).
I started spotting brown blood this afternoon, not a lot but about 2hours ago there was bright red blood, then it went away again.
I'm in no pain apart from the usual twinges that I've been getting and still feel pregnant and have symptoms but I'm terrified. I have to go for a scan tomorrow morning, it took me ages to get hold of clinic and I was told not to panic as this can sometimes be harmless. I can't bear the thought that this could be it. Is bleeding more common with twins and has anybody had this but went on to be ok. Sorry for yet another anxious post

Hi Clare I am so sorry to hear u r having this worry. I don't have any experience but am sure a little bit of bleeding could be caused by loads of different things and doesn't mean the worst. Is it the fertility clinic u r going to or EPU?
Sending u loads of love
xx

Hi Pip it's the clinic I've to go to tomorrow, I have my last appointment and scan with them this week then was getting passed on. She gave me a number to call if it gets worse tonight but she sounded really calm about it whereas I am a wreck, I just don't know what to think. Its gonna be a long sleepless night .
Hope your ok Pip

Oh you poor thing, but please try not to panic too much (easier said than done I know). I had really heavy red bleeding throughout my early pregnancy (we are talking soaking two maxi pads in less than 5 minutes) up until 18 weeks, and I know lots of ladies on here have had bleeding too. Brown blood is old blood and you're not having pain which is good. It's good you have an appointment tomorrow as hopefully they can put your mind at rest. Whilst I wasn't a twin PG the EPU (early pregnancy unit) at my hospital told me that bleeding really isn't that uncommon, so please, try and rest tonight and the clinic can scan you tomorrow.

Thanks ladies, (i don't know where the thank button is!) I am doing absolutely nothing tonight.
I'm praying your right about it being old blood. She did mention the epu but then said to go there . I think she thought I was being a bit hysterical to be honest, I probably sounded it.
Thanks for your kind words both of you xx

Hiya, sorry to hear you are going through this, I know it's easier said than done but as the other ladies have said no pain is great news. I too went through this at about the same time. I bled bright red blood for just over a week, after several scans no one could tell me why it happened but everything turned out fine in the end. Hope your scan goes well tomorrow xx

Thanks Kat, I'm trying to keep hope that everything is ok, but won't be able to relax until I've had the scan. This
whole process just feels like never ending worry, it seems to have stopped now apart from very slight brown spotting but no red so praying this I a positive sign.

Hi ladies, thanks so much for your support. I had a scan at 9 am and everything is fine, both twins doing well and had good strong heartbeats. They said there was a wee collection of blood inside but this wasn't anything to worry about and this just sometimes happens. Feel so relieved after a long night of worrying. I've to go back on Friday for my proper 12 week scan.
Thanks for keeping me sane ladies.

Hi Clarabel I'm so very sorry this happened to you, and sorry for not replying sooner (not been on for a while) as you know I am expecting twins (19+3 today) and I too had bleeding at 12 weeks, brown spotting that lasted around 5 days, then started againa few days as I was constipated and started it off again for another few days. Same as you nothing showed on scan and both babies were fine.

Thanks Gingerbean, it was a worrying few days. No more bleeding from Tuesday so fingers crossed. I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and a bit anxious but I feel everything will be ok. It helps to know that other people have experienced this but it's been harmless. I hope you and your twinnies are doing well.
